Google is finally killing uBlock Origin – with a note on their web store stating that the extension will soon no longer be available because it “doesn’t follow the best practices for Chrome extensions”.

#Firefox 131.0.3 is out now to fix an issue preventing the "List all tabs" toolbar button from being moved, an issue where some VR180 and 360 videos weren't properly rendered on YouTube, an issue where some users couldn't access their bank's site Bill Pay, a crash affecting Windows users, and a security vulnerability.

These browser vendors have produced browser-based PPA (Privacy-Preserving [Ad] Attribution) technologies that attempt to establish a world where “advertising online happens in a way that respects all of us, and where commercial and public interests are in balance”.1 Unfortunately, after studying each proposal, I predict they will inadvertently lend themselves to further incentivize the publication and spread of low-quality information (including misinformation), polluting the information landscape and threatening democracies worldwide.

#Firefox 131.0.2 is out now to fix a security vulnerability being exploited in the wild that would allow an attacker to achieve code execution in the content process by exploiting a use-after-free in Animation timelines. More details https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-51/

It's no secret that Google has a very large influence. They have influenced web pages into being highly optimized for high search engine rankings, and have pushed AMP: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/07/googles-amp-canonical-web-and-importance-web-standards-0. However I haven't found any concrete examples of Google pushing web standards that have been adopted and require browser support. I've read comments here and there like this one, that the Shadow DOM was created and pushed by Google, perhaps to make it harder to block ads, but didn't find any sources on that.

Vim's modal editing system is very efficient for manipulating text with little keystrokes. Let's say I had a list of URLs like the ones below, representing tabs. I could have the list as a text file, navigate them with arrow keys to move a text cursor, press enter or another key to focus on the tab under the cursor, d to cut a link (like cutting a file in a file explorer, or like how d deletes or cuts text in Vim), and p to put it in another position where the cursor is. I could select multiple lines to do d or p, or press y to yank (copy) them to my clipboard.

Oil.nvim seems to be a good point of reference for this. Its a Neovim plugin that acts as a file explorer, where all the files are text listed in a vim buffer, and you can do d y or p. I did a bunch of searches to see if Vimium Tridactyl or Surfing Keys can do this and nothing showed up. If they can, then an explanation would be helpful.
